Joe Newell

Come on! You can't compare Boyle and Newell on goal stats 😂

That is not Newell's job in this team. Half the season he's been fire fighting in midfield trying to do his job, another midfielders job, and half of Dylan Levitt's job!

Honest to god, without Joe Newell we'd be fighting relegation this season. He's the only player that always gives his all. Is he a world beater? No. Is an excellent Spl midfielder? Absolutely yes. He'd play in every other teams midfield bar the cheeks.

Hearts and Aberdeen would love to have him.

You think we have no other players that always give their all?

Some may not be very good, but that’s not a brush to tar all the other players with. Some of them, absolutely. But not all.

Sometimes this site has me shaking my head with disbelief. Newell deservedly won player of the season last term and has certainly been one of our best this term.
Sure he had a shakey start at Hibs when played on left wing but as soon as moved into CM started to look the part and has grown steadily into one of our best players since then.
Of vourse we'd all like him to score more often but you could say that for just about any player.
He is consistent enough in his qualities - great passer, strong in the challenge and not afraid of the physical side, intelligent player who has grown to love life at ER and shown leadership qualities such that noone argued when he was handed the armband this season.
Sure he has the occasional off day but what player doesn't?
Why some feel the need to pick holes is beyond me.

Felt similarly coming on to this thread as Newell has consistently been very good for a couple of years now, carrying the team at times. Of course he doesn't have absolutely everything but he has a hell of a lot. It's a bit of a cliche but if he was quicker and scored more goals he would simply not be at Hibs in his prime years - in fact I would love to know where we're going to unearth a midfielder who can run, control the game, battle, create, score goals consistently etc. There isn't a better central midfielder outside of the OF IMO and we will sorely miss him when he's gone.

No, I think we have others that do their best as well. Rocky, Fish, Marshall, Vente, but Joe is probably the most consistent of them all.

Posted in the summer transfer thread but this is probably a better place for it.

Newell signs extension through to summer 27

Absolutely delighted with this news.

[Winston Ingram]

Brilliant news. Excellent decision to make him captain as well

[wookie70]

I was photographing him today. Absolutely delighted to hear the news and Joe was all smiles. He is a fantastic advocate for the club

[keep the faith]

Yaaas Joe! Top player and top guy.

Sorry, but he's not a top player. Another one who has one good game in four.

I take it we're skint because if we can't improve on the likes of Newell, it's another long miserable season ahead.

Aye so he does.

[Golden Bear]

Great player, we're lucky to have him.

He is without any question our best midfielder, and a good player in this league. Not him needing improved on short term.

[HH81]

Good player and he seems to love being at Hibs.

How do you know we cant improve on Newell ?

A fantastic advocate, not sure about that. Not very Hibs class having a drink driver as club captain.

[Exuberance1875]

Big season for him now that’s for sure!

[EdinMike]

A Leeds fan and friend of mine singled out Newell as a top player and a perfect Midfielder… so take that for what it’s worth

What about a person who made a bad error, taken their punishment and not repeated it? Or does Hibs class mean you are flawless from the minute you exit the womb?

Not really relevant. I’m no fan of Newell as a player but that’s not a reason for him not being Captain.

Will quote you on that at the end of the season. Joe Newell is a terrific player and leader. SDG knows that.

I highly doubt this crossed anyone’s mind in the decision making process. It’s been and gone and he’s paid for it.

Won’t be the last Hibs player to make a mistake in their personal life. People can comment on his football ability which, as fans we are allowed to. But I don’t think there’s any doubting his attitude and desire to do well for Hibs

Has his critics but sometimes keeping the band together after tough times reap rewards

£10 first goal scorer bet on Saturday 👏🏻

Quite like the idea behind this, I have personally been a critic, but can see the sense in buying into someone and trusting them with something to build upon.

Good luck to him and I hope he does the job for us.

[Jones28]

Good stuff 👍👍

[Brightside]

Was signed up months ago. No issue with it. He's a good consistent pro.

[SHODAN]

Oh, this is going to be a fun thread!!!

[WestStandWillie]

Expect a lot more from Newell this season.

He's got to own that midfield - something he was guilty of not doing last season.

Now now, don't you go on being so overbearingly positive again...
